Bread Upma is a quick recipe that can be put together in very less time ,to be precise just 10 to 15 mins and you will have a sumptuous and filling snack ready .
Bread upma is the best way to use up left over bread or on days when you have no patience to cook up an elaborate breakfast,this is a perfect savior. I would call bread upma as a bachelor friendly recipe, since this doesn't require any fancy equipment, special cooking or cutting skills.
As a school going kid, this used to be my favorite lunch box item after sandwiches. I am a die hard fan of bread and can eat bread for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
You can add some veggies to this upma if you are packing it up for kids' tiffin box . I generally add some boiled potatoes, carrots and beans to make the breakfast filling and sumptuous.
I prefer to use a day old bread because it is easy to crumble it and there is not much moisture left in the bread that will make the upma soggy.
